More quotes by William Shakespeare
Beware Of entrance to a quarrel but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy rich, not gaudy For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
William Shakespeare
The latter end of a fray, and the beginning of a feast, Fits a dull fighter, and a keen guest.
William Shakespeare
Away, you cut-purse rascal! you filthy bung, away! By this wine, I'll thrust my knife in your mouldy chaps, an you play the saucy cuttle with me. Away, you bottle-ale rascal! you basket-hilt stale juggler, you!
William Shakespeare
Modest wisdom plucks me from over-credulous haste.
William Shakespeare
We must love men, ere to us they will seem worthy of our love.
William Shakespeare
Which can say more than this rich praise, that you alone are you?
William Shakespeare
Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies
William Shakespeare
A thousand kisses buys my heart from me And pay them at thy leisure, one by one.
William Shakespeare
If [God] send me no husband, for the which blessing I am at him upon my knees every morning and evening.
William Shakespeare
To be in love, where scorn is bought with groans coy looks, with heart-sore sighs one fading moment's mirth
William Shakespeare
Spirits are not finely touched But to fine issues, nor Nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence But like a thrifty goddess she determines Herself the glory of a creditor,Both thanks and use.
William Shakespeare
One sin another doth provoke.
William Shakespeare
We are advertis'd by our loving friends.
William Shakespeare
Few love to hear the sins they love to act.
William Shakespeare
A little water clears us of this deed.
William Shakespeare
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
William Shakespeare
What is thy sentence then but speechless death.
William Shakespeare
To die, to sleep - To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub, For in this sleep of death what dreams may come.
William Shakespeare
Foul fiend of France and hag of all despite, Encompassed with thy lustful paramours, Becomes it thee to taunt his valiant age And twit with cowardice a man half dead?
William Shakespeare
These cardinals trifle with me I abhor This dilatory sloth and tricks of Rome.
William Shakespeare
